About this property

Located in the heart of Withernsea, East Yorkshire, a stone's throw away from the bustling high street, is The Old Police House, a characterful, five-bedroom home. Oozing both charm and style, The Old Police House offers a wonderful base for a large group break or celebration, inviting twelve guests to the coastline, complete with a hot tub, a private games room, and flexible sleeping arrangements. Benefit from private secure parking for one car in the garage with further spaces available on the neighbouring road, and be welcomed by the grand exterior of your new home, ahead of reaching the sitting room, where you can unwind after a day of traveling. Continue through to the well-equipped kitchen/diner, complete with state-of-the-art appliances to ease your self-catered stay and ample seating where you can dine together; here you'll find all the essentials, including a washing machine, dishwasher, and coffee machine. As the evening unfolds, head upstairs to the first-floor sitting room for a quiet nook, or enjoy some friendly competition in the games room, complete with arcade games and a pool table, before climbing into the babbling hot tub for an indulgent soak; the patio also offers the perfect space for alfresco dining, with your two furry companions in tow. Catch some rest from one of five bedrooms, including a ground-floor double, serviced by a shower room, whilst on the first floor you'll locate two further doubles, a twin, and a bunk room, serviced by a bathroom. Awaken to explore the area, starting off with a tour of Withernsea Lighthouse Museum, a stroll along Withernsea Central Promenade and Beach, or a round of golf at the Withernsea Golf Club, before purchasing the essentials for a night in, or heading to the local pub for a tipple. Hull and its centre of attractions is nearby, where you can discover the Streetlife Museum, book tickets to attend a show at Hull New Theatre, or head to The Deep, one of the most popular aquariums in the world. Remaining near the shore, enjoy a day out at Hornsea Beach, or a visit to Bugtopia Hornsea Zoo, before grabbing your walking boots to hike across the Kilnsea Wetlands and Spurn Heritage Coast. Gather your entire group at The Old Police House.

Withernsea, a well-liked beach community, is located in Yorkshire's East Riding. This cosy coastal retreat offers a laid-back vibe and is ideal for family getaways. The town's flat, agricultural surroundings provide some breath-taking vistas and a wild, windswept atmosphere to clear the cobwebs! A Napoleonic stronghold, a large nuclear bunker that offers award-winning tours, and a lighthouse that is now a museum are some of the historical attractions in the nearby communities. The three-mile-long, spindly, and eerie Spurn Peninsula may be found farther along the coast. Withernsea's sand and pebble beach has a majestic entrance like a tower, plenty of wonderful fish and chip cafés nearby and more. Withernsea has two shops for your convenience, a classic promenade, gorgeous gardens, children's playgrounds, and entertaining attractions like amusements.

    It had absolutely everything from toys for children to games for adults. There was ironing board, iron, hoover, just like home. Also location great for amenities etc. Bad points: it looked clean on initial entry but needed a deep clean, such as skirting boards, bathroom, around the toilet. The duvets were very thin (although the house was warm). There was no mattress protector and the mattress was full of bobbly bits which felt uncomfortable. The leather settee downstairs was most uncomfortable. The seats fell off every time you stood up. The other settee had loads of crumbs when we lifted the cushions. It would also benefit from downstairs toilet. (Maybe the left corner as you walk in the door). I struggle with mobility, so it was a nightmare every time I needed the loo. Also the parking is horrendous if you have more than one car. Would have given 5 star rating if these faults could be addressed as the property has everything you need.

    First thing we noticed was that this place definitely had the wow factor! The place has a huge open plan kitchen and living room which was perfect for socialising with all the guests! Every bedroom was beautifully presented, there were Nespresso pods for the machine, and everything was sparkling clean. The hot tub was brilliant, we absolutely loved it! The pool room (which also came with an N-64, and an arcade machine) was fantastic! Nothing was half broken or worn out, you can tell the owner really takes pride in the presentation of the house. Speaking of the owner, they were extremely accommodating with us and helped us out when we had a couple of issues (not to do with the house). We’re already planning on returning! Thank you for making our stay memorable!
